Although the Liberal Democrats claim they do not easily fit into the "left-right" political spectrum, some political observers believe that the party is to the left of "New Labour": the party has supported some "Old Labour" positions such as higher taxes on high earners, higher levels of government spending, and opposition to the Iraq War.
Some claim that attempting to place the Liberal Democrats within the 'left wing'-'right wing' model does not accurately represent their ideology and that the Liberal Democrats represent the Libertarian end of the Libertarian-Authoritarian axis, a political dimension that is orthogonal to the better-known Left-Right axis.
The Liberal Democrats are a member party of the Liberal International and the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party and their 12 MEPs form part of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) group in the European Parliament.
